2025 Chevrolet Equinox

I am on 20 service calls.Mine is currently having onstar issues screens glitching, Apple CarPlay won’t connect, sensors on mirrors are going off nothing beside me, when I hit my breaks it keeps turning my emergency brake on and engine power reduced keeps coming on dash but the dealership is saying GM said my warranty is voided due to a aftermarket part

I drive 20+ miles each way to work every day. Much of this drive is on highways, and currently the bridge connecting Ohio and Kentucky is down to three lanes with no berm. On a windy road with low visibility and a steep hill near my home, the car completely lost power and acceleration without any warning. I wasn't able to drive it completely off the road before it came to a stop and due to the loss of power was unable to move into neutral to push it and the hazards would not work. Thank God that this didn't take place on the bridge or with my family in the car. I made the decision to exit the car while it was still on the road and find a safe area in the grass where I could call for help. When I exited the vehicle, it locked me out and the only way to get in was through the driver's side door, which would put me back on the road in traffic and at risk. The electrical failure prevented me from opening the other doors. The car's complete system failure put my safety/life at risk and could jeopardize the lives of others if it wasn't investigated. To make matters worse when the tow truck came via OnStar they weren't equipped to move a car stuck in park or drive due to the electronic gear shift so they drug it with the tires locked onto the bed. After several days of testing the electrical system, the dealership found a loose wire and informed me that it had been fixed. I picked up the car and after a mile or so, the check engine light came on. I contacted the dealership to come pick it up and that's where it stands at the moment. My intention was to pass this on to my boys when they start driving, but this experience will alter that plan.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while reversing, the transmission remained in drive. The contact depressed the shifter to move. The contact stated that the gear shifter was sticking. The vehicle jerked, hesitated, and then stalled. The contact stated that the doors were locking and unlocking without driver input after an update was performed, and the keys became locked inside the vehicle. The service transmission warning light was illuminated. The telematics module, GPS, and OnStar were not working as designed. The contact stated that the OnStar went into red and lost connectivity and was unable to locate the vehicle. The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined after further inspection that the battery was drained due to the telematics module draining the battery. The dealer informed the contact that parts were on back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

When the vehicle was stopped in an intersection, the vehicle would shift from D to P by itself. The check engine lamp was subsequently lit. I would not able to shift it out of P until I restart the vehicle several times. During such incidents, I was stuck in the middle of the intersection for a few minutes, impeding traffics and endangering myself and other motorists on the road. This problem first happened on September 20, 2024. The vehicle's odometer was at 1824 miles. The dealer made a repair. This problem happened again on October 14, 2025. The odometer was at 22065 miles. The vehicle is current still in the dealership. The vehicle was normal before such incidents. There was no warning light or any other noticeable anomaly before such incidents.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing rough idling and sputtering at start-up. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Auto Zone, where it was diagnosed with rough idling and fuel injector failure. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the engine revved to a higher RPM unexpectedly. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions, and the brake pedal needed to be depressed very hard while attempting to stop the vehicle. The contact stated the vehicle had started independently two to four times in a row. No warning light was illuminated. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the diagnostic result was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,417.

Bought vehicle in October 2024. About 5 hours after we purchased vehicle the check engine light came on, dealership did reset and everything checked out to be safe and sent us on our way. Fast forward to January (do not remember date) check engine light came on again, this time took it to auto zone to hook the car up to the scanner, it did give an error code of P04FB which is a crankcase ventilation sensor. From auto zone we did take it back to the dealership and the had the same code as auto zone. Dealer ship did reset and acknowledged that Chevy was “working on it” but no fix is available. Everything seemed to be ok until 6/5/2025 and the another time in June when the check engine light came back on and again the dealership reset it. Since June we have had the vehicle into the dealership once a month, July (not sure of date) and 3 times in August 8/26 8/27 & 8/29. The check engine light came back on and now we have to take it back to the dealership 9/2/2025. This is super frustrating and an inconvenience to have to take a brand new vehicle to the dealership every day. We have had the vehicle into the dealership a total of 8 times so far with a 9th visit on 9/2/2025 for the SAME issue when will chevy get this figured out?
